Welcome Board - START HERE! / New person
« Last post by Lisa B1968 on August 12, 2018, 05:56:04 AM »Hi I'm Lisa - just a quick introduction so I'm not rambling on first time around! I'm hoping to kick start my writing after a long break. I did a Writer's News course over six years ago. I really enjoyed it, especially getting the feed back. I want to go to a local writing course at college but they mainly start up mid September. I'm not financially in a position to pay out for the online distance learning as I paid a lot for an AAT course two years ago and am still suffering the overdraft - you'd think they would have made a bookkeeper out of me by now! My first love is writing so I have returned to that as words seem easier to play with than numbers - now my brain is hitting menopause territory!

Well it seems to have very good reviews and its on the site of one of the official ISBN sites so it must be ok and yeah, its only £15 so may as well as give it a try eh?

Yes, it will never be quite the same again but that is no reason to abandon hope. It will be better to just get on with participating instead of bemoaning things that cannot be undone. Just saying.

Review My Poetry / Re: Help with tenses
« Last post by Mark T on August 10, 2018, 05:57:10 AM »The writing is quite dense in places and therefore difficult to follow - sometimes poetry can be like giving directions - easy to give but not to understand so much. But there are sections that are quite good, in a raw sort of way. I liked this line that stood out for me, and I suggest you try starting the poem with this. The first draft is putting big chunks of thought down and then you can sift through and edit to more accurately define your intentions to the reader. Don't be afraid to slash and burn your words in the review, nothing sacred there and there are plenty more available.
Today I met a woman who's never been a mother,
life denied her, so now I'm another daughter
Just a suggestion. You see how surplus bits fall away so you can get closer to the core of things. Adding the word 'another' clarifies your relationship with your own mother ie normal - it is internal rhyme with 'mother' and smoothens out the meter (rhythm).

What less than £15 like this site do? Ill be honest i have tried but all i get come up is expensive sites like Neilson and another one that i forget the name of. This one was the least expensive so far but with people using Neilson and another one i just wondered if anyone had tried the one i mentioned.
